SZPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 540,468, dated June 4,1895.

w Application filed October 29,1894. Serial No. 527,168. on model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of Vincennes, in the county of Knox and State ofIndiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The several features of my invention and the various advantagesresulting from their use conjointly or otherwise, will be apparent fromthe following description and claims.

In the accompanying drawings, making a part of this application, and inwhich similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure1 represents a central vertical section of a stove embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is a compound view,to wit: The righthand half of thisfigure represents a part of the true top of the stove, the ornamentalsuperstructure being removed. In this righthand portion'is seen theone-half of a metallic represents a plan view of either half of the Fig.4 represents a perforated middle ring. vertical transverse section ofany side of the upper portion of the stove, and showing, among otherthings, the mode of joining the vertical drum and the upper or top partof he stove and the perforated nickel ring. Fig. 5 represents a verticaltransverse section of the stove at and in the vicinity of the perforatedmiddle ring, and also of the adjacent side of the fire-pot and theadjacent portion of the bottom of the latter.

The class of stoves to which my invention is applied is known as theradiating stove.

. The base A of the stove is supported on legs A and is made of anysuitable form to sup:

port the basal or foundation portion of the fire pot B. This base Apreferably contains the ash pit A as shown,and the ash-pit contains theash pan A capable of being, at will,

withdrawn from the stove, and emptied, and

the raised ring C. On the ring B and against the inner side of ring 0,rests the lower edge of the Vertical portion B of the fire pot B.

The bottomB hasin it the usual grate, and consequent openings of anydesired kind.

Outside of the ring 0 is a horizontal ledge 0 on which latter rests thefoot or lower edge of the casing D,-surroundiug the fire pot B. There isa space E between the fire pot B and casing D.

Outside of the ledge 0 the basal portion of fire pot extends'out and iscarried down so as to rest in any proper manner upon the base orfoundation A; One mode of thus extending said portion is shown in Figs.1 and 5, and consists in thecxtension O O substantially as indicated. II

The central or mid portion of the stove consists of two concentricdrums, with a space H between. The outer drum F is preferably made ofRussia iron, and the inner drum G of steel. In and through the sides ofthis drum is the door I, of any suitable size and kind. V

The connection between the middle portion of the stove and the lower orfire pot portion will now be described.

Alittle below its upper edgeand at its exterior, the fire pot- B has ahorizontal flange B extending out to the casing D and forming a lateralsupport for the latter. The inner mid drum G rests upon this flange Bits lower end fitting into a recess B in the upper side of the flangenext to the fire pot.

At the outer side of the lower portion of the drum G is a vertical ringK. This vertical ring K isriveted at K to the drum G. Lugs or extensionsK extend horizontally outward. The location of the ring K, K on the drumG is such that the lugs K do not touch the flange B of drum B but arelocated at a distance above it. The object of such location is to enablethe securing bolts K (which pass through the lugs K and flange B to holdthe ring K, K to the flange B to tighten and draw down the ring and middrum G so that the bottom of the latter rests securely in place in thegroove B This effect could not be accomplished by these bolts if thelugsK in the firstinstance and before being drawn upon by bolts K resteddirectly upon the flange B The flanges or lugs B do not extend out entirely across the space between the pot B and the casing D, and ampleroom is given for the air heated between the fire pot B and the casing Dto pass it or them and circulate upward into the space H between the middrums G and F.

I will now describe the perforated middle ring M. This ring islocatedabove the flange or lugs K Its inner edge rests upon the upper edge ofthe ring K. It extends out across the space II, and abuts against theinner side of the drum F forming at M a lateral support for the latter.From the lower outer edge of this ring there extends outwardly a flangeor extension M which curves out and downwardly. On the top of thisextension M rests the drum F, and this extension M in turn rests uponthe upper edge of the casing D. The surface of the ring M between drumsG and F and below space H is perforated at at close intervals. Theseperforations M (see Fig. 3) allow the air of the interspaces E and H tofreely circulate. The ring M is held down securely in place by means ofbolts as M connected at one end to the flange or a lug B and at theother to the ring substantially as shown. These bolts go through theportions Mof the ring left between the perforations. The ring is made intwo or more sections, and theseveral sections are bolted to one anotherend to end. A provision for thus uniting the sections is shown in Fig.5, and consists of the flange M proj ecting down from the end of theextension M as shown, and perforated for the reception of a boltsecuring said flange to a similar one of an adjacent section. Thismid-securing device is wonderfully compact, simple, strong, economicalof manufacture and readily put together, adjusted in position andreadily taken apart for repair, due.

The top N of the stove carries a series of horizontal lugs N extendingoutward from it and spanning the top of the space H between the drums Gand F. These lugs rest on the top edges of the drums F and G. \Vith thedrum G and abutting against the inner side thereof is a down flange Nprojecting from the said top N. Angular corner irons or ring N bolted tothe outer side of the upper end of the drum and to the lugs N hold thetop N and drum G firmly together. The top N also carries the perforatedring N extending out and curved over and down. This ring is providedwith perforations N at comparatively close intervals all the way aroundit. The hot air passing up from spaces E and H passes up past the lugs Nand in part passes out through the perforations N. The hot air passingup along the outside of the outer mid drum F and close thereto, iscaught under the curved ring N The most part of this air passes upthrough the perforations N of ring N While the various features of myinvention are preferably employed together, one or more of such featuresmay be used without the remainder, and in so far as applicable one ormore of said features may be employed in stoves other than the oneherein specifically set forth.
